Rockstar: Alexandre Tagliari De Rosis

Coaches Notes:

I am super incredibly proud of Alex! Last year in 2022, he followed my Triathlon Transformation program and achieved all the goals he set for himself. He lost 70 pounds and completed a 70.3. The he disappeared, stopped training, and went back to eating poorly. He lost fitness and gained back some of the weight.

This year he came back with a new goal. To make this a lifestyle and not a diet plan to follow temporarily. He had a new goal of a sub 7 hour 70.3, and lose all the weight he gained back. Guess what? He did it! Eagleman 70.3 in 6:57 and lost a total of 110 pounds.

And he has already set his new goals for a sub 6 hour 70.3 and then a full Ironman in 2025. Way to go Alex, you are a true Rockstar Triathlete and a great example of never giving up and anything is truly possible! Thanks for choosing Full Circle Coaching!

What is your age?
45

What is your profession?:
I graduated as a Business Administrator, always worked in the IT market, and for 16 years ran an IT integrator company in Brazil.

Why did you choose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I met coach Erinne 2 years ago when I weighed a lot more but was ready and willing to do a half IM in 6 months. She supported me and made me confident I would accomplish my goal with the Triathlon Transformation program.

What is your “A” race for this season?
IM 70.3 North Carolina in October 2023

What are your BIG goals?
Reduce my weight to under 200 lbs. (I was 330 lbs. and now I am at 220 lbs.) and finish a 70.3 in under 6 hours in 2024, then a Full Ironman in 2025.

Tell me about your successes so far!
It has been a long journey. It took a long time for me to understand I should trust the process, make better decisions in the short term to get benefits on the long term. I faltered after my first race and, regained weight, stopped training and it was hard to come back. But here I am, much more healthy and prepared not only for the Triathlon, but for life. The improvements I am experiencing in my life are amazing after making this commitment to myself.

What were some of your biggest improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition/Health. Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved.

I lost 110 lbs, reduced my body fat from 40% to 20%, achieved a sub 7 hour 70.3 last weekend at Eagleman 70.3, and I am feeling better than ever.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:

  1. Trust the process.
  2. Understand the time of the changes and how long it takes to the results to appear.
  3. Keep focus and persistence.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
The challenge of 3 sports together and the competition against myself to break my own limits.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
Jump in! Start now, as you are, with the tools you have and keep pushing. Anything is possible, believe!

Let Your Imagination Run Wild for Your Bucket List

Let Your Imagination Run Wild for Your Bucket List

All right, friends! I have a super-fun project for you today.

Today, you’re going to work on your bucket list. If you’ve gotten lost since making New Year’s resolutions, or if you never prioritize yourself, or if you’ve forgotten the importance of dreaming big, then this is going to make your day.

The phrase “bucket list” has become widely known to illustrate things you want to do at least once before you die – before you kick “the bucket.”

Some bucket lists might include parachuting out of an airplane… watching the sunset in Hawaii… Completing an Ironman …….. or running the Boston Marathon…

There are no limits. No rules. Whatever you want!

So, let’s do it. Grab a pen and paper, or type it on your laptop or phone in the notes section right now. There’s no minimum or maximum number of items on your bucket list. Just put down anything you’d like to do at least once in your lifetime.

Dream big.

Let your mind – and heart – wander in all sorts of directions. Places to go, yes, but also … people to see, projects to build, events to complete, or emotions to experience… You don’t have to be “realistic,” either. If you want to be Princess Leia for a day, write it down!

It’s all up to you.

When you finish the first “brainstorm” style list, maybe go back and do a light edit. There might be some redundancies or potential groupings. There might be ACTUAL WAYS to do some of the fantastical stuff (like seeing Coldplay or riding a rollercoaster at a theme park).

But don’t judge yourself. 

Indulge yourself. Remember, your bucket list is all about YOU. Nobody gets to say, “You can’t do THAT,” about anything on it.

Then, try to get specific. It’s one thing to say, “I want to see Paris.”

Great!

Let’s go deeper. “I want to see Paris… and walk into that bakery shop I saw in a movie… and smell the pastries… and tear open the fresh croissant.”

Have fun with this. Feed your sense of adventure and of play. Recall what you dreamt of as a child and consider if you still have those aspirations. What will bring you joy?

Are there items on your list that you want to pursue now? Or are you happy to leave most of them for “someday” …?

Both can be nice. You decide!

If you are reading this from me- Completing an Ironman or finishing in a specific time, Completing a sprint or Olympic distance Triathlon, Losing 50 lb’s to get healthy, or Getting faster will be on your list.

If that is the case, I’d love to help you on your journey to check that item off your Bucket List!

Use this link to fill out the application for my Triathlon Transformation Program, and then follow the prompt to set up your call with me.

Rockstar: Willy Larreal

Coaches Notes:

Willy dreams of qualifying for Kona, and I’m so psyched to be on this journey with him. When you are already fast and have lots of experience, it is MORE difficult to get even faster.

He has done a 12:30 IM Florida and a 11:15 IM Texas.

My system of getting someone faster is very contradictive to the mainstream way of coaching for the Ironman, and frankly, many athletes are afraid to go shorter and get faster, but that is my secret sauce, and guess what? It’s working.

With two PRs (Personal Records) already in the books since we started- we are headed to the next one at Ironman Maryland for a qualifying spot for Kona- Sub 10 is the goal!

Willy has had to get a bit out of his comfort zone by doing more testing and a different kind of training than before, as well as communicating more with his coach- Me! These are all pieces to a giant puzzle to his ultimate success- Ironman World Championships- Let’s do this, Willy!

What is your age?
 39

What is your profession?:
 I am a Civil Engineer 

Why did you choose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
Erinne is a very experienced coach, and I am convinced that she will take me to achieve my big goal.

Ironman Maryland

What are your BIG goals?
Qualify for the Ironman World Championship in Kona

Tell me about your successes so far!
PR on the middle distance and PR on sprint distance, looking forward to racing the full distance in September.

What were some of your biggest improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition/Health. Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved.
Improvement on the bike, I was able to complete the 56 miles on a 70.3 Ironman in 2:20 hrs.

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:

  1. I have completed different types of workouts in all three disciplines. Ones based more on technique and numbers make the training very exciting.
  2. Better nutrition and hydration and strength training specific to triathlon.

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
Pushing myself physically and mentally every day and seeing the results.

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?

Rockstar: Nicole Fuentes

Coaches Notes:

Nicole just graduated from my 8 week Beginner Tri Program. This is an ideal program to test the waters of the sport of triathlon and see if you are a fit.

I, of course, know that everyone is a fit if they choose to be. If you want to do I triathlon, I will get you there. I guarantee it. But sometimes a new athlete is not sure and this program gets you there safely and builds confidence in all the areas of the race.

Nicole’s success at her first Sprint Triathlon was because she really showed up- for the daily training (30-45 min/ day only) and the weekly coach calls. All while being a busy Mom of 3, wife, and Professional.

She invested in herself, and now I am happy to say she is joining us for the 16 Week Triathlon Transformation program for her next race goal- An Olympic Distance Triathlon.

Please see her notes below about how every other aspect of her life improved by joining our program.

Way to go, Nicole! Super excited for the next stage of the journey- Thanks again for choosing Full Circle Coaching!

What is your age?
47 years old. 

What is your profession?:
Positive Psychology Consultant. Corporate trainer. Speaker. Author. Life Coach.

I help organizations build an engaged workforce and increase profitability by activating the sense of purpose and emotional well-being of their leaders, managers, and team members.

Why did you choose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I love their holistic approach to training. Not only learning about each one of the sports but also learning about nutrition and mindfulness. I also wanted to join a community, meet people and make new friends as I recently moved to this country.

PD. Coach Erinne got me at “Yes! You can definitely do a triathlon with your mountain bike.”

What is your “A” race for this season?
I joined the beginner’s program to complete the Integrity Multisport Sprint Triathlon. 

What are your BIG goals?

  • Be healthy
  • Enjoy nature
  • Make friends
  • Have fun
  • Complete an Olympic triathlon

Tell me about your successes so far!

  • I completed my first-ever sprint triathlon! 
  • Learning to swim in open water.
  • Pd. Also, managing to get in the pool at 5:00 am. The rest of the day was a piece of cake. 

What were some of your biggest improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition/Health. Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved.
A nice side effect of the training program was that I could focus and concentrate on writing. My creativity and willpower improved in all areas of my life. I sleep better, have more energy, and feel calmer. My stress levels were reduced. I complete most of my to-do’s when I train. 

The most significant improvement for me was in swimming. This is a sport that I have yet to formally practice and learn the technique. 

The bicycle was where I felt most comfortable. This is my favorite sport. I knew there was only so much I could do on a mountain bike. So instead of worrying about everyone riding faster than me, I enjoyed the rides and the sunrises. 

I ran the 5K under 30 minutes for the first time in many years. 

Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey:

  1. Coach Ollie with her patience, attention to detail, kindness, and sense of humor. 
  2. Being part of a friendly and welcoming community. 
  3. Knowing that there was a time and place to show up and train. Accountability. 

What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?

  • Spending time in nature.
  • Being surrounded by inspiring teammates.
  • Witnessing my own progress and the amazing feeling that comes with accomplishing goals. 

What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
Give yourself permission to have this experience. The FCC coaches will meet you where you are. The worst thing that can happen is that you fall in love with the sport.
